Sorry something Grin WRH to the x2 you're getting maybe you're accidentally hitting the post button twice?

ppeatfruit · 19/09/2013 10:28

I meant WRT of course!

mummytime · 19/09/2013 10:43

I like Bren and the Russian!
Nice to see someone from Ambridge with someone who has never even been to the place (and isn't distantly related to you...).

ErrolTheDragon · 19/09/2013 10:46

So what if Tom and Kirsty are not right for each other - the SWs don't want everyone living happily ever after!

Something - don't worry, some of us prefer the repeats. Grin

mummytime · 19/09/2013 11:49

Actually I have fantasies that they could turn Brenda into a Lillian type figure in the distant future.
Maybe Dimitri could reappear in 20 years time?

OldBeanBagz There have been at least three mentions of cake in T&K related storylines in the past few weeks - and I'm not even listening properly at the moment!

I'm really loving Linda right now. I used to hate her but she has come into her own during this storyline.

Will it be a showdown for who gets the GG manager's job between Linda and Kathy do you think?

OldBeanbagz · 19/09/2013 12:56

CuttedUpPear i know but surely they're not setting up another eating disorder storyline? Kirsty doesn't like she eat too much cake (is there such a thing?).

I'm loving Linda too and am willing her to do the Mexican evening well and get the managers job. Kathy could maybe go back to being the health club manager?

CuttedUpPear · 19/09/2013 17:15

In her profile the actress looks like a pie or two wouldn't show up!
Although you could have a thin actress playing a plump character.
Her voice is the best thing since Cake

OMG - just having a look at the photos! The bloke who plays Matt Crawford looks like how I imagine Oliver to look :o

meriambeetle · 20/09/2013 01:37

I have too much time on my hands! Just been looking at the biography page and did you know that the actress who plays Lynda Snell is every single female character in Postman Pat. Fantastic!

ppeatfruit · 20/09/2013 09:55

I knew that meriam she also sometimes appeared on weird comedy shows on Children's telly (I used to be a C.M.\ nanny can you tell? Grin) she's clever!

ErrolTheDragon · 20/09/2013 10:02

I try not to look at the photos of TA actors...I'm sure some are imposters, lots of them look nothing like they should.

lottiegarbanzo · 20/09/2013 10:20

Yes, it really annoys me when pictures of the actors are used by the BBC or described as being the character. As far as I'm aware the actors are cast for their voices, not their physical resemblance to the character. They all look wrong!

TheSilverySoothsayer · 20/09/2013 10:25

Yyy to that. They dolled Shula and Mark up in wedding gear and did a spread in the Radio Times. So so wrong.

ppeatfruit · 20/09/2013 11:54

'They' did that with a lot of them; the only one who looks like her voice is Lizzie. I think it's daft too.Just as bad as viewers of EE who send flowers for funerals etc. and 'they' are the bleedin' producers etc....

ppeatfruit · 20/09/2013 11:58

I say the above but I wouldn't mind a peek at J'lene's wedding dress Blush Grin

TheSilverySoothsayer · 20/09/2013 14:30

Come to think of it, you've got a point there, ppf Blush Wink

Impomea · 20/09/2013 16:40

I think Eddie Grundy looks right as did Nigel but they all seem a lot older than in my imagination but so do I !

OliviaMMumsnet · 20/09/2013 21:52

oi! no pictures Shock

Gigondas · 21/09/2013 12:56

I suppose the sw are reverting to an old theme with grundys trying to make money any way they can. But the constant reference to joe being 92 was massive hint something was going to happen .

nennypops · 21/09/2013 15:59

Compensation culture hits Ambridge shock horror. Actually I can't see that it's such a massive deal, surely that's what Caroline pays her insurance premiums for.

MrsCampbellBlack · 21/09/2013 16:12

God Caroline is so bloody annoying - she should be so grateful to poor Linda.

And has Eddie forgotten how much help Caroline and Oliver have been to his son's over the years?

MrsCampbellBlack · 21/09/2013 16:13

Lovely kind Ian though.

Gigondas · 21/09/2013 16:20

Yes - Ian was lovely.

Plus suspect will get nowhere as wasn't that what all the overkill in script about David saying how much he had to drink then going to check on him .

Caroline being ungrateful tho
